Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried out to ^(C1)his ^(F1)god, and they ^(C2)hurled the ^(F2)cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it ^(F3)for them. But Jonah had gone below into the stern of the ship, had lain down, and fallen sound asleep.

So the captain approached him and said, "How is it that you are sleeping? Get up, ^(C1)call on your god! Perhaps your ^(C2)god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish."

And each man said to his mate, "Come, let's ^(C1)cast lots so that we may ^(F1)find out on whose account this catastrophe has struck us." So they cast lots, and the ^(C2)lot fell on Jonah.

Then they said to him, "^(C1)Tell us, now! On whose account has this catastrophe struck us? What is your ^(C2)occupation, and where do you come from? What is your country, and from what people are you?"

So he said to them, "I am a ^(C1)Hebrew, and I ^(C2)fear the LORD ^(C3)God of heaven who ^(C4)made the sea and the dry land."
